Package: gitlab
Version: 15.0.4+ds1-1~fto11+2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I just tried to upgrade to Gitlab 15.0.4 on my two instances. While I
had no issues in my smaller instance, my bigger one had some issues.
First, postinst failed with the message
/etc/systemd/system/gitaly.service.d/override.conf already exist
I moved the file away and the upgrade could continue. At the end of
the upgrade, gitaly did not start anymore, so I restored the file (it
actually contains the setting of the user running gitaly).
Then, however, I stumbled upon a much more serious issue: The database
migration could not finish as there were pending background jobs that
failed to finalize:
gitlab_production database is not empty, skipping gitlab setup
Attention: used pure ruby version of MurmurHash3

== 20220213103859 RemoveIntegrationsType: migrating
===========================
rake aborted!
StandardError: An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled:
Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigration::BatchedMigrationRunner::FailedToFinalize
…
I did some research, and found somebody else having a similar issue
[1]. Unfortunately, manually running the background jobs [2] did not
work either as they continued to fail. In the database I identified
the following stuck background migrations [3]:
gitlab_production=# select id,status,job_class_name, table_name,
column_name, job_arguments from batched_background_migrations where status <> 3;
id | status | job_class_name |
table_name | column_name | job_arguments
----+--------+--------------------------------------------------+--------------+-------------+---------------
17 | 4 | BackfillNamespaceIdForNamespaceRoute | routes
| id | []
19 | 4 | BackfillMemberNamespaceForGroupMembers | members
| id | []
20 | 4 | MigratePersonalNamespaceProjectMaintainerToOwner | members
| id | []
23 | 4 | BackfillGroupFeatures |
namespaces | id | [10000]
15 | 4 | BackfillIntegrationsTypeNew |
integrations | id | []
16 | 4 | BackfillUserNamespace |
namespaces | id | []
18 | 4 | BackfillIssueSearchData | issues
| id | []
I then proceeded to simply change the status of the jobs to 3 in the
database as proposed in the issue mentioned above [1]. I could then
finish the upgrade normally with `apt upgrade`.
Afterwards, I simply undid the database change (i.e., reverted the
status of the failed background migrations to 4) and then restarted
the migrations in the web UI.
As far as I can tell, everything seems normal now. The seven
background migration jobs are still pending, but I can continue to use
Gitlab normally.
Do you need any more information on the matter?
Thanks for your investigation into the issue!
Best,
Maximilian
